Not worth the wait....food is just okay and a little overpriced. Needs more local seafood and less frozen. Not what we expected.
A great location with outdoor tables, good menu selections and prices, and attentive service. I tried the candied walnut and blue cheese salad which was excellent, and the shrimp and grits for the main course. I'm not the one to rate the shrimp and grits since it was my first time trying them and turns out not a huge fan of grits, but the shrimp and sausage on top was delicious. Ask for the lunch size portion if you're planning to have salad or appetizers - it was plenty unless you want leftovers.
First the food is great, I had the shrimp and grits. The inside is nice and the servers are nice aswell. It is not all that fancy, some people were wearing khakis and button ups but most were just casual, I wore jeans and a tshirt, so did most of the people in my group. We did not feel out of place. The food is a liitle expensive but, I think my shrimp n grits was about ?18? dollars but you get a lot. NOW, I must say that the parking is terrible and the reason I would not go back again. We made reservations for 6:30 and we arrivewd there around 6:30, by the time we FOUND and GOT the parking space it was already after 7:00. It is basically a circle that you have to make aroiund and around the parking area, and if someone is behind you , which there was at all times, then they would get any spots that came available behind you, there was no backing up. We eventually pulled off to the side and sat there for 10 mins. Food-good, service-good, Parking- absolutly horrible.
